Minutes after the last pink-clad participants crossed the finish line during Wilmington’s March 7 Susan G. Komen Race for a Cure 5K, all of the nearly 100 breast cancer survivors who took part in the event were given a pink carnation. Each woman then presented the flower to one person, or co-survivor, who helped her through her breast cancer battle.

Survivor Susan Berry handed the carnation to her daughter, Mary Grace Glover, hugging her tightly. But to show the depth of her gratitude, she also nominated Glover to receive the event’s co-survivor award for the immeasurable love and support her daughter provided after Berry’s diagnosis.
